Correlations between protons produced in the decay of $^{10}$C and $^{6}$Be states.

ORAL

Abstract

This talk will present the 2-proton correlation data from recent secondary beam experiments using the MARS separator at TAMU. The experiment itself and the extracted decay paths for the previously known levels and a newly discovered level are described in a separate talk by K. Mercurio. The 2-proton relative-energy and relative-angle spectra for the $^{10}$C state at E*=6.6 MeV contain correlations that can be reproduced by R-matrix or Fadeev calculations but not sequential or three-body calculations. In the same experiment, we also collected kinematically complete data on $^{6}$Be ground-state decay. These data, as well as calculations from Grigorenko, will be presented in Jacobi ``T'' and ``Y'' coordinates.
